Title: Gelled food concentrate comprising low-methoxy pectin
Inventor: BOTT KATIE
IPC: A23L23/10
Filed: 2012-08-06
Abstract: A food concentrate in the form of a gel is suitable for use in stock, soup, sauce or gravy. It is possible to cold blend additional ingredients into the gel, such as thickeners, during manufacture without destroying the final gel. A thickener blended into the cooled gel concentrate is inert but capable of generating viscosity when the concentrate has been diluted in aqueous liquid in a ratio of 1:10 to 1:100 under the application of heat. The cold blended ingredients may include vegetable pieces, cut herbs, flavourings, colours, thickeners, probiotics, vitamins or other heat-sensitive compounds. The concentrate may contain 30-60% water, 5-15% common salt, 1-8% low-methoxy pectin and 20-64% of taste-imparting components. A method of producing the gelled food concentrate with a peRcentage equivalent of sucrose less than 20% comprises fully dissolving the low-methoxy pectin in hot water, optionally adding sugar, maltodextrin and taste imparting components and allowing the mix to homogenise, adding salt, re-homogenising and cooling, adding ingredients that are not heat-tolerant and re-homogenising, then filling the cooled concentrate into a mould or consumer-ready packaging to set.

Title: Real-time key frame synchronization
Inventor: HALLMARKER OLA
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 2011-09-08
Abstract: [0060] Mechanisms are provided for performing real-time synchronization of key frames across multiple streams. A streaming server samples frames from variant media streams corresponding to different quality levels of encoding for a piece of media content. The streaming server identifiers key frames in the media streams and points in time to sample for key frames that increase the chances of detecting key frames from the same group of pictures (GOPs). In some examples, the sampling point is substantially in the middle between two GOPs. When a connection request is received from a client device for an alternative stream, a measured delay is used to calculate an improved start time.

Title: Signal envelope processing
Inventor: BLYTH MALCOLM
IPC: H03M1/70
Filed: 2013-07-05
Abstract: A digital absolute amplitude detector 402 receives and responds to inputs from both the input and output of an interpolator 401 providing a delayed output at a higher data rate. The use of the interpolator input signal allows an early indication of an increased amplitude while the use of the interpolator output signal enables provision of a delayed but more accurate absolute amplitude signal. The envelope tracker circuit 403 provides attack and decay functions. The envelope processor may be used in an audio amplifier (figure 10) having a modulated supply voltage for improved efficiency and/or having dynamic range enhancement for reduced DAC quantization noise.Â  The need for a digital delay in the main signal path, to allow for the response time of the envelope tracking power supply, may be avoided.

Title: Auto-shift reversing mechanism for a ratchet tool
Inventor: PUSATERI DANIEL
IPC: B25B13/46
Filed: 2013-10-17
Abstract: Disclosed is a ratchet tool (100 fig.1) that automatically actuates the reversing lever 110 of a ratchet mechanism 112 when the direction of the motor is changed. The auto-shift mechanism includes a first driveshaft 120a to which is coupled a worm gear 125 that rotates with the motor, and a disc 130 coupled to the worm gear that moves laterally as the worm gear rotates. An arm 145 is attached to both the disc and reversing lever so that the axial movement of the disc actuates the reversing lever of the ratchet mechanism by either pulling or pushing the reversing lever. A lost-motion mechanism (150 fig.2) can absorb an initial amount of torque so that the auto-shift mechanism can run its course prior to applying the torque to a fastener. The auto-shift mechanism therefore allows the user to automatically switch between clockwise and anticlockwise rotation of the tool head without the need for manually actuating a reversing lever. Also claimed is a method of applying torque to a ratchet head via the auto-shift reversing mechanism.
